  • story
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game is generally considered weak and clichéd, with many reviewers noting its lack of depth and vague quest directions. While some appreciate the basic premise of survival in an alien environment, the narrative is often described as generic and poorly executed, with minimal engagement from NPCs and a reliance on text windows for storytelling. Overall, the consensus is that the story does not significantly enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “The story is just phenomenal, I absolutely love the part where space gets hacked (oops didn't mean to spoil that).”
    • “The story is alright; you crash on an alien planet and have to go around saving your people and finding a way out, takes a while to finish too.”
    • “I do like how the basic plot is clear: get through x-many biomes and then you win.”
    • “The story is just pointless and quests are very vague while fruitless.”
    • “It was the story that was mostly crap.”
    • “The story is a bit lame and cliché.”
  • gameplay
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players noting its repetitive and simplistic nature, often describing it as tedious and lacking variety. While some appreciate its nostalgic hack-and-slash mechanics reminiscent of classic titles, others criticize the lack of polish, stiff controls, and frequent crashes. Overall, it offers a unique experience but may not satisfy those seeking depth or innovation in gameplay.

    • “Addicting game with hours of gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is simple hack and slash, much like Diablo 2, with similar loot drops and power-ups.”
    • “If you compare it to other hack and slash games, you will never purchase it, but otherwise you need to be prepared for more than 7 hours of good, slightly repetitive gameplay that has some features not frequently spotted in this genre.”
    • “There's no explanation of how game mechanics work, like how the energy weapons recharge by using your currency.”
    • “The gameplay is tedious and extremely monotonous; as it should be for its genre?”
    • “Don't bother, graphics are dated, and gameplay has many issues.”
  • graphics
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising them as "amazing" and "cutting edge," while others criticize them as "dated" and "crap." Many users note that the visuals are stable and fit well with the game's style, but framerate issues and overall graphical quality detract from the experience for some players. Overall, opinions vary widely, reflecting a divide between appreciation for nostalgic aesthetics and disappointment in technical execution.

    • “Cutting edge graphics.”
    • “Let me start off by saying the graphics are just wow.”
    • “The graphics are a little dated but go well with its simple stylized visuals.”
    • “I think that the soundtrack is nice, but the story is bland, the graphics suck, and worst of all, I'm having a lot of framerate issues.”
    • “Don't bother, graphics are dated, and gameplay has many issues.”
    • “But the graphics suck.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its atmospheric qualities and suitability for the sci-fi theme, while others find it lacking in melody and overall appeal. Despite some criticisms, a few users highlight the soundtrack as a standout feature, suggesting it enhances the gaming experience. Overall, the music is seen as a notable aspect, though opinions on its quality vary significantly.

    • “Space Hack has nice graphics for the time and the music gives it a dark atmosphere.”
    • “Worth the 0.19€ just for the music.”
    • “The music is more like sci-fi sounds than music, but I guess it suits the game.”
  • grinding
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and monotonous, as the lack of respawning enemies limits opportunities for leveling up and acquiring resources. While some enjoy the challenge of grinding through each zone, many feel that the scarcity of money and expensive upgrades make the process frustrating and repetitive. Overall, the grinding experience can detract from the enjoyment of the game.

    • “This is because the game definitely played well without needing enemies to respawn, but in the same breath, I really wish they did so I could continue leveling up and farming money/cells for energy weapons and better upgrades.”
    • “The gameplay is tedious and extremely monotonous; as it should be for its genre?”
    • “This wouldn't be so bad if money was more common or upgrades were cheaper, but no: getting any kind of significant armor or stocking up on healing items is an exercise in grinding (non-respawning) that gets old before it even begins, since even with your most powerful starting weapon, the most basic enemies take 3-4 hits to take down.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of Space Hack is characterized by its decent graphics and dark musical score, creating a compelling sci-fi ambiance reminiscent of the Diablo series. Overall, it effectively immerses players in its thematic setting.

    • “If you look at the game and see it for what it is: a decent sci-fi game with a Diablo-like atmosphere, it is not bad.”
    • “Space Hack has nice graphics for the time, and the music creates a dark atmosphere.”
    • “The game fails to immerse players in its world, leaving the atmosphere feeling flat and uninspired.”
    • “Despite the potential for a gripping setting, the atmosphere lacks depth and fails to engage the player.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is inconsistent, with some users experiencing performance issues on newer systems, while others report smooth gameplay even at maximum settings. This disparity has led to mixed feelings about the overall performance, despite the low price point.

    • “Though I got this game very cheap (about 20 or so cents at a winter sale), it still leaves a nasty taste in my mouth from its performance.”
    • “I heard this game is poorly optimized for newer systems, but then I hear people with these systems running the game fine on max settings.”
